I also tried watching 'Inland Empire' from David Lynch. Typically, it's too weird to get into easily, I gave up and will try it on another occasion when I'm feeling more patient!

Action in the North Atlantic, 1943. directed by Lloyd Bacon, that stars Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey ...
When shooting the early scene when the tanker burns and they abandon ship, Humphrey Bogart and Raymond Massey got into a friendly argument over who had the better stunt double. In the end, the two stars decided to do the stunt themselves. Massey elaborates on this anecdote in detail in his autobiography, "A Hundred Different Lives".

I think I saw that at our local film club. From what I remember it was typically wierd Lynch. I couldn't follow what was going on, didn't understand it - and might have even walked out!Originally Posted by walpurgis

Actually, I must dig out 'Lost Highway' for another look. I remember finding that very striking and I enjoyed it.

Is that the one where an old guy goes to visit his friend hundreds of miles away, riding on a lawn tractor? It was panned by fans of David Lynch, claiming he had sold out in making a reasonably understandable film - a sort of David Lynch 'road movie'.
I quite liked it.

IMO the surest way to ruin a David Lynch film is to try to understand it. I always just enjoyed the "moments", without worrying too much what it all meant. I did try with "Twin Peaks" and that got me nowhere. Always liked the music too

That was 'The Straight Story' 1999. I saw it recently, it was OK, but not very memorable.
'Lost Highway' is very different and enigmatic to say the least. I found my DVD of it and will probably watch it again later.

Last night I watched Kevin Costner's 'Open Range', hadn't seen it before. He directed and starred with (the always excellent) Robert Duvall and Anette Bening. Not a bad movie, a little let down by the rather corny romantic ending. Great gunfight though!
